Synopsis:
Distributed in the U.S. by Joseph Brenner
Associates, Island of Allah is a stock-footage salad assembled by
Richard Lyford. Drawing from several earlier sources, this
semi-documentary attempts to trace the history of the Arab people. The
dramatized sequences are never quite as impressive as the "straight"
footage drawn from life. Fredric March's narration brings a soupcon of
cohesiveness to the project. While it didn't receive much theatrical
play, Island of Allah became a television perennial less than a year
after its release. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
